Episode 1451 - Jarvis Kingston By awesome deeds of righteousness, you answer us, God of our salvation. You who are the hope of all the ends

Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 Psalm 65:5 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. -John 15:12 DEVOTION Based on John 15 Jesus makes love a command, not a suggestion. "As I have loved you" sets an impossible standard—sacrificial, unconditional, laying-down-your-life love. He demonstrated this love hours later on the cross. This isn't loving the lovable but loving like Jesus: washing feet of betrayers, forgiving crucifiers, embracing outcasts. "One another" means within the body of Christ, our love should be so radical that the world takes notice. This commandment isn't about feeling but choosing—deciding to love when it's difficult, inconvenient, or costly. When Christians love each other with Christ's love, we become living proof of the gospel. The world can argue with our theology but not with our love. A.C.T.S. REFLECTION ADORATION: Lord Jesus, Your love sets the standard—selfless, sacrificial, boundless. You loved us when we were unlovable, served us when we deserved judgment. CONFESSION: I confess loving conditionally, not as You loved. I've withheld love from difficult people, loved only those who love me back. My love has been shallow compared to Yours. THANKSGIVING: Thank You for showing me what love looks like through Your life and death. Thank You for commanding love, making it non-optional. Thank You for empowering me to love like You. SUPPLICATION: Lord, help me obey this commandment today. Show me someone who needs Your love through me. Give me strength to love sacrificially, especially when it's hard. PRAYER By awesome deeds of righteousness, you answer us, God of our salvation. You who are the hope of all the ends of the earth, of those who are far away on the sea. PSALM 65:5 Dear Lord, as I lay down to rest, I am grateful for the goodness and grace surrounding me. In this peaceful moment, I lift my voice to You, O God of our salvation, with all the gratitude and gladness of a heart that knows Your love. By marvelous deeds, You answer me with righteousness, and in the stillness of this night, I am filled with wonder at the majesty of Your creation. The stars that twinkle above me cast a glow of peace and tranquility, and the soft rustling of the leaves reminds me that I am never truly alone. Even as I close my eyes, I feel Your spirit comforting and keeping me safe. At this moment, I know that I am loved and cherished and that nothing can ever separate me from Your embrace. As I drift off to sleep, I give thanks for the beauty surrounding me and the landscape that speaks of Your glory and power. Keep me safe and secure in Your perfect love. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen. 🙏🏾 PRAY FOR YOUR COMMUNITY Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jarvis-kingston--1517583/support. Repent and Get Baptized
